Platos Pro's weight plates provide a convenient and effective weight-training solution for those who travel frequently. They were invented by Rick Gamboa, a kinesiology professor at East Los Angeles College. He was teaching a weightlifting class in 2019 and observed that many of his students found the weight discs were easier and more versatile to use than the dumbbells. He thought compressing the discs would make training easier and safer. The extra space these compressed discs provide was a bonus!
They are so comfortable to hold, and the grips feel more secure and stable. The PLATOS discs are designed to fit in the palm of your hand, and the center-hand grip opening allows you to hold the weights with more control and ease.
These discs are only 3/8" thick! You can stack the whole set, and the plates are going to be thinner than a pizza box. You won't need to dedicate a space for your weights because they can be stacked and tucked away neatly.
These ultra-thin plates can travel with you anywhere you go - as long as the weight permits, of course. They will fit neatly inside luggage, and the thin discs are much easier to pack than traditional dumbbells. Imagine all that dead space around the dumbbells!
The plates come in 2.5 lbs, 5 lbs, and 10 lbs increments.
You can purchase them as single-weight plates, pairs, or sets.
When you're stacking the discs for weight lifting, you can stack them one on top of another and twist them to to activate the locking mechanism.
You can add extra plates for heavier workout needs like this, and they will stack neatly, freeing up space for you to utilize the room. This Platos Pro Set consists of four 10 lbs plates, two 5 lbs plates, and two 2.5 lbs plates. All of them are 3/8 thick. In total, you get 55 lbs of weights in 8 plates, and Platos Pro recommends this bundle for advanced lifters.
These ultra-thin plates are travel-friendly, as well. They are actually designed to be as travel-friendly as possible, so Platos Pro sells bags that fit the plates perfectly.
The Home/Pro Bag houses the whole 55lbs of Platos Pro Set.
And there is a mini version, as well.
Platos discs are designed for anyone who wants to train, but they will be particularly appreciated by frequent travellers, women, beginners to weight lifting, or low-impact weight lifters.
